Burton Handy, A.B. Secretary-Treasury Mathematic It was said long ago that “men labor and other men enter into the results of their labor”. How true this is whether it be in the realm of finance, morality or education. Every graduate listed in this book builds upon the achievements of men who have gone before. Parents, friends and strangers have contrib¬ uted to their success in varying de¬ gress. How thankful we should be for the aid thus received and how eagerly should we strive to em¬ brace the opportunity to so order our efforts that we may in like man¬ ner contribute something of value to those who come after us. No man can set up a more worth while goal for himself or accomplish a more worth while task during a lifetime of service. 7 — A man’s real value to humanity is not measured in terms of physi¬ cal values nor in terms of personal power nor mental capacity, but rather it is measured in terms of big heartedness, thoughtfulness, service, understanding, and sympa¬ thy. It is measured by his willing¬ ness to help carry the burdens of others; by that quality within him that inspires in others a feeling of trust and confidence. A man who is a friend of humanity, whom men believe, whom women honor, and whom little children implicitly trust -—though he be poor in worldly goods, has a value beyond the pow¬ er of computation; for out of the bigness of his soul he has made a contribution to life and character that can never be measured.

t Charles C. Sherrard, Ph.C.M.S. Jr resident Individuality Every individual, business, profession, industry, organization, city, state or country has ceitain attributes or individualities which are decidedly characteristic, and which shows a! marked distinction from all others of the same class. Due to this fact a multiplicity of ideas and ideals and human effort have produced an ever increasing accumulation of improved methods for advancement and betterment of social, business and living conditions. Because of these individualities, unprecedented progress lias been made, to the end that methods of living today are so far in advance of past generations and centuries that we are actually amazed at the results of human progress. An idea or ideal of one individual induces like thoughts and analyses on the oart of others who are touched by similar environments, with the ultimate result that, today, the people of the world are rapidly coming to be known as one great human family. In a small or more circumscribed way it is interesting to note and study the individuality and selected environment of the students of Tri-State College. The college itself has a distinctive individuality, there being no other school of like character in the country or perhaps in the world, and because of this fact many naturally talented young people are attracted to us. These splendid people, coming from all parts of the Earth, have their own individualities and yet their ideas and ‘ ' ‘ unique characteristics of Tri-State College, herice their outlook on and usefulness is greatly augmented. We hope and we believe, that the individuality of Tri-State College has been the instru¬ ment of aiding many worthy young people to become potent factors in the sum total of human progress. We believe this because we find our graduates identified with a great variety of enterprises and organizations in almost every country of the world. C. C. Sherrard, President Tri-State College. ideals are influenced a future life of real by the service Page Nineteen

M 3uJ THE MODULU Engineering is influencing the lives of all civilized nations. The engineer has a great responsibility. A good engineer should have an up¬ right character, should be accurate, truthful, sober and discreet. He must have command of his temper, have firmness and courage that will repel solicitation and attempts at intimidations. He must be energet¬ ic, and take an interest and have experience in his work. His deal¬ ings with men must be fair and im¬ partial as a judge on a bench. He must be of inflexible integrity, and should not go ahead, until he knows he is right. The Engineer who combines these cpialities is beyond price, and his value cannot be estimated by dollars. George G. Neihouse, C.E.
